The Core

My Gear



Gear analysis

You can check here all item modifiers. Find what suits your needs. Below are listed some of the most important modes for this build:

Main hand: One handed axe with high physical damage and high attack speed. In particular, more than 1.8 attacks per second and around 350pdps for endgame content.

Off hand: Soul taker - Excellent pdps and the global mana related mode makes our life easier.

Helmet: Armour + Life + Resistances

Gloves: Armour + Life + Resistances + Maybe attack speed as well. Ideally, get your hands on spiked gloves as soon as possible.

Boots: Armour + Life + Resistances + Movement speed > 20%

Amulet: Life + Resistances + flat physical damage.

Left ring: Life + Resistances + flat physical damage.

Right ring: Mutewind seal. Probably one of the nicest boosts for pdps. Flat physical + flat attack speed + Onslaught.

Belt: Life + Resistances + % physical damage. In other words, rustic sash.

Advice
Use soul taker as a main weapon until you can replace it with a better one.
If your resistances are under 130 each, replace Mutewind ring and gloves.

Gem analysis

Leap slam: Basic movement skill. Used for fortify acquisition as well. Unfortunately, whirling blades cannot be used with axes. But leap slam is ok owing to high attack speed.

Ancestral Warchief: Excellent damage dealer. Always summon before entering a battle.

Cwdt setup: Nothing to say here. It is a must for every build. Very important for survivability. Phase run is used as a dps boost. Just be careful.A few things to know about phase run, both Taken from poe wiki:
1)Trigger Gems: When linked to a trigger support gem, Phase Run should be placed as the last skill gem to be triggered, because otherwise it would go straight to the second buff (the one that boosts melee damage for 0.20 seconds) since another skill (the gem(s) linked after it) would be triggered after Phase Run and therefore end its first phase immediately."
2)Despite the skill tooltip suggesting this isn't the case, the melee damage buff from Phase Run is present during both the initial phasing buff and the secondary buff.

Auras: Determination is the best defensive aura because it increases armor by 12%. If you feel capable of staying alive, you can switch to Haste. Vulnerability almost doubles bleeding degeneration.

Conversion Trap: Used in large packs of monsters.Who doesn't love minions?

Main skill: Sunder has excellent dps scaling and it is very safe since we attack from a distance.Its shockwave does decent damage as well.Furthermore, sunder works great with bleeding.

The build in a nutshell

Strategy is everything. ✌

⚠ The most important things is understanding the playstyle, which can be summed up in one phrase; Play safe.
Remember:
☢ Always keep your distance, but not too far, so that the enemies remain cursed. ✔
☢ When encountering large packs of monsters, use your totem and your traps often. ✔
☢ Do not overestimate your power. ✔
☢ Have faith in bleed. It can slowly kill hard bosses💀.✔
☢ Have patience. ✘


Stats & Pastebin

The following stats and the pastebin were generated with the weapons shown above.
If you want to check future prospects of the build, I suggest you use a better axe.
Current axe is 370pdps, while axes have the potential to reach much more than that.

PoeB: full buffed



PoeB: unbuffed/hideout stats
